Palynology of Rajpardi lignite, Cambay Basin and Gujra Dam and Akri lignite, Kutch Basin

The fossil assemblage consists of 42 species belonging to 38 genera. On the basis of abundance, Rajpardi palynological assemblage has been divided into three cenozones in ascending order: Polygalacidites rhomboidus Cenozone, Inapertusporites kedvesii Cenozone and Arengapollenites achinatus Cenozone. The assemblages recovered from the Gujra Dam Section cutting and Akri lignite have been correlated with Lygodiumsporites lakiensis Cenozone. It has been postulated that the lower part of Rajpardi lignite was deposited above the storm tide zone and the upper level of the lignite was perhaps deposited between equinoctial to storm tide zones.
